Steel Notes Magazine
Director James Solomon has assembled a riveting documentary that serves as revisionist history,
righting the wrongs of perceived anomie in NYC. Of course, if the New York Times article had
been rewritten differently with more clarified accounts from witnesses, then Kitty’s name would
not mean as much as it does today more than 50 years later. When Bill Genovese goes so far as
to interview Moseley’s son, he still doesn’t get real satisfaction considering Moseley was unsure
about meeting Bill whom he assumed was Mafia-related, hence his last name! The conclusive
irony is that Bill arrives at something much more fulfilling -- the Genovese family has finally
embraced and celebrated Kitty rather than trying to forget her namesake via a headline-making
murder. It is how she lived that spreads joy -- her name has been restored to the loving family
member she always was. That is Bill’s satisfaction, and ours.
